Abstract
ABSTRACT
Central venous catheters are often mandatory devices when caring for critically ill patients. Central venous catheters carry a particularly high risk of infection and these infections may be life threatening. Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the effective-ness of teaching program on Nurses’ performance regarding prevention of Central venous catheters related infec-tions CVC-RI.
Design: A quasi-experimental design was used. Setting: The study was car-ried out in ICUs of the Critical Care Units at Ain Shams University hospi-tal. Sample: A convenient sample of all available nurses (119).
Tools: The study tools were: 1) Nurs-es' self-administered questionnaire which was divided into two parts: a) demographic characteristics of the studied nurses. b) Nurses' knowledge towards prevention of CVC-RI pre/post and after one month. 2) Nurses' practice checklist, regarding preven-tion of CVC-RI pre/post and one month later after the teaching pro-gram. 3) Nurses' satisfaction question-naire: towards the teaching program. Results: The findings of the study re-vealed that a statistically significant increased in the staff nurse’s knowledge and practices after imple-mentation guidelines teaching pro-gram regarding prevention of CVC-RI, with the mean total score (79.56 ± 6.8 / 56.73 ± 26.88) / (90.25 ± 8.36 / 63.06 ± 6.2) respectively. The nurses with 10+ years of experience, scored satisfactory level of knowledge and practices. As well, the level of nurses' satisfaction regarding guidelines teaching program, post implementa-tion, It was observed that 67.2% of the studied nurses were very satisfied and only 3.4% of them were very dissatis-fied from the teaching program.
Conclusion: teaching program had a statistical significant on the improve-ment of nurses' knowledge and prac-tice regarding prevention of Central venous catheters related infections.
Recommendations; Establishment educational services program and workshops in educational hospital for updating and refreshing the nurse’s knowledge and practice re-garding guidelines for the prevention of CVC-RI.
